June and July 2009 MMMUG Meetings

The first in June is in Dublin however, it is being broadcast via LiveMeeting too!

The second in July is our regular MMMUG meeting in London. Details are below:

Irish Windows User Group Event: Introducing Exchange 2010

On June 12th we will be running a session on Exchange 2010, also known as Exchange 14. The speaker, Nathan Winters, is an Exchange MVP, consultant and author with huge experience and a growing international reputation. As you can see from the session agenda, the world of email has evolved into a world of communications and collaboration, introducing many new technologies and offering new ways to access existing technologies with solutions for the major corporates and the small businesses. This will be an interesting session that will explain what's happening now and in the near future.

This event will be held in London at the MSFT offices in Cardinal Place near Victoria.

This month we are going to do something slightly different. We are going to take a look at Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7. To keep things on an Exchange related note, we will also be looking at PowerShell v2 and the Remote PowerShell functionality in Exchange 2010.

Dimension Data acquires Teksys

As you probably know, I work for Dimension Data as part of the Microsoft Line of Business in the UK and run the Exchange practice.

This morning Dimension Data has announced that it has acquired a UK Microsoft infrastructure and licensing services company called Teksys.

The acquisition of Teksys, which employs a team of 65 talented and experienced employees, gives our Microsoft business scope to provide new services and to mount an even bigger challenge to become the go to provider of Microsoft consulting services in the Unified Communications and Infrastructure Optimization fields. It also means that Dimension Data becomes a LAR (is able to sell MSFT licenses) in the UK.

MMMUG Community Event (OCS, SharePoint and Exchange)

As promised, things User Group wise are starting to move again (unlike the trains in the South today!)

This time I am emailing to publicize an event Steve Smith and I have been working to put together in March this year.

As in previous years UK User Groups are coming together to put on a two day event on March 11th and 12th.

The SharePoint User Group and the Microsoft Messaging and Mobility User Group will be hosting a unique event at the Unified Communications Expo 09 at Olympia in London.

The aim of this community event is to show how today’s latest collaboration platforms work closely together from a communication as well as collaboration aspect. The event is split into two unique days with day one being more a solution based day (look what this technology can do) and day two being a technical how we got there day.

See the agenda page for more details of the session breakdowns. Products being demonstrated include Exchange 2007, OCS 2007 R2, SharePoint 2007 and Office 2007 all by recognized experts in the relevant fields.

This event is free so sign up early to avoid disappointment as we do have limited space in our theatre. To register see the link below:
